About Melanie

Hi, I'm Melanie! I have been a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist since 2020 and am currently wrapping up my PhD in Nutrition! I have moved around a few times, including a recent relocation to Wisconsin, a few years in Texas, and a majority of my life was spent in the metro Detroit, Michigan area. I love helping others incorporate small, sustainable lifestyle changes to improve their overall health that are able to be maintained long term. What this looks like will vary from person to person, but can include finding and add new routines, making changes to various eating habits, and finding ways to add more (and different) activities. I’m excited to see what the future holds for you!

Approach to care

We all start somewhere, and I want to meet you where you are at. It may feel overwhelming at first, but every small step you take will add up, and that is something I will keep re-emphasizing as we work together. And food neutrality is another area that I value, which includes enjoying foods we love!

Your first session with Melanie

In the first session we will take some time to get to know each other (it's a little bit like dating, where we want to make sure we're a good fit!). We will discuss what your background, knowledge, and experiences with food and nutrition are as well as your long-term goals. We will also work together to develop some short-term goals that are realistic and motivating for you, and set you up on a track to reaching your long-term goals.

Education

Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics

Hobbies

Currently I am pretty busy developing a new routine, but I enjoy walking, hikes, playing in concert bands/orchestras, and visiting family!
